Class Poem Our class president is of course Phil P. And a very good one I’m sure you'll agree. The vice-president of our class is Jerry Hood, As a photographer he is also very good. Our treasurer is Faye the girl who will Soon be married to a swell guy named Bill. Our class secretary is naturally Jane, When it comes to art work she draws anything. Jerry Engle is quite an all-round athlete. But playing basketball is his main feat. Carole Scott as a twirler is quite a gal, And to a certain Senior she is more than a pal. Bob Dishman is the kid with that southern drawl. He is lots of fun and not very tall. The editor of the school annual which is Barry B. Made a hit with Nadine it’s plain to see. Judy Durham is planning to go to college Is she really in pursuit of more knowledge ? Bob Rhodes is really good at basketball. That proves there’s advantages to being tall. Jerry Rensberger is one reporter of sports. He can out talk a lawyer in any of the courts. Marge Gaerte is a girl full of laughs and fun. Flash seems to be her special someone. Dean Keck is the fellow from out Etna way. He is pretty hard on cars so they say. Jim Priest is tall and seems quite shy. But when you know him he’s a very likeable guy. Joan Smith is shall I say “The Town Kid’’, She has a cheery smile that can't be hid. Merrit W. is the guy who drives the Pontiac convert. At driving convertibles he should be an expert. Marietta is the one who deserves a hand. As Majorette of the North Webster band. Alfred, better known as “Al” Engelberth, Is the cut-up who is always full of mirth. Another artist in our class is Pat Eberly, Drawing beautiful girls is her specialty. Rolf Hunter as a singer does quite well. But on the Saxophone he is really swell. Carole Jean Biltz says she doesn’t like her name. But I think it's cute, don’t you say the same ? Ed Tom drives a 1950“ Plymouth and is a kid, That for pranks simply can’t be outbid. Now all that is left is the author of this piece. So I will sign my name, Lillian Priest. 13

MOTHER IS A FRESHMAN “I’m a Sophomore wails Susan. “How can I have a mother who's only a Freshman”' If Susan had known what a sensation her good-looking mother would cause when she hit that college, she'd have wailed even louder. Abby’s reason for going to college with her daughter is hard economics. She’d used up most of the insurance that her husband left for her, and there just aren’t many opportunities for an unskilled widow. The only way she can afford to keep daughter Susan in school is to take advantage herself of an unusual but most generous scholarship. Abby's first two names are Abigail Fortitude, and anyone with those names is eligible for a liberal memorial scholarship established years ago by a wealthy woman of the same name. No one's applied for it since 1907 and there's “zillions piling up . Susan is dead set against her mother doing anything so crazy. Sue points out what a lonely old lady she’ll be on campus. But Abby sees no other alternative, and they're off for college. Right from the start she's met by a deep freeze” from the Dean who suspects that this is just a practical joke or publicity stunt. The Dean as good as tells her that the slightest infraction of any rule will give him the excuse to expel her. She feels even worse when she hears the other girls discussing what “a character named Abigail” must be like. However, when she makes her entrance she causes a real stag-ling stampede. But that doesn't help her--it makes things harder. On top of that, she has a terrible time with her main course-- zoology. The likable professor delivers his lectures looking right into her eyes. No wonder she's flustered. Then the professor tries to give Abby some extra help with her zoology. He even goes so far as to slip his arm about her. During this scene the girls are getting ready for the dance, and the music can be heard through the window. The professor asks Abby to go with him, and she’s delighted. She doesn't realize that Susan, like a number of the girl students, has a great crush on the professor. Susan's foolish maneuvers result in a serious misunderstanding, and in outrage, the now miserable Abby slaps the professor. This gives the Dean his chance and she's expelled. She has to watch the others go off to the dance, listen to the sound of the music, and then turn around and go upstairs to pack. How could it end like that? No, it doesn't. Professor Michaels comes back, and the Dean shows up. After a lot of arguing over whose fault it was the Dean finds out the real reason Abby came to college and asks her to stay. Professor Michaels takes Abby into his arms and they begin to dance as the curtain falls. The cast of characters are as follows: Mrs. Abigail Abbott--Marietta Whitehead, Susan--Jane Frisinger, Mrs. Miller--Faye Pearson, Sylvia--Julia Durham, Bunny—Joan Smith, Carrie--Pat Eberly, Helen--Marge Gaerte, Clara—Carole Scott, Marge--Lillian Priest, Bobo--Phil Payne, Jack--Rolf Hunter, Howie--Jerome Hood, Bill--Merritt Wagoner, Dean Gillingham—Jerry Rensberger, and Professor Michaels--Barry Baker.
